Gungan Senator - Awesome! It'll pegwarm big time, but it looks great. I like the staff too.

Gragra - Another amazing figure! I wish they rereleased a Jar Jar to go with her though. She'll make a good background figure.

Holo Maul - Holo fig = pass.

Naboo Guy - Why is he so big? Too GI-Joeish to me... I'll still get one though.

Podracers - Cool! They can't do much though, since we don't have their pods.

Obi-Wan - Yuck. Why is the braid painted on? They have the original TPM figure with the sculpted braid, don't they? I'll pass. How hard would it have been to repaint the ROTS Pilot Obi-Wan body and give it a TPM ball jointed Obi-Wan head?

That Obi-Wan is the Soft Goods version with the "real" hair braid.

I think Dud Bolt has an ice-pack or something like that on his head from the Podrace crash.

I'm glad they are putting out some new TPM figures, because I know they've been lacking and a lot of people were hoping for some more. I'm not personally overly excited about this wave, but the figures don't look too bad. Depending on what the Obi-Wan ends up being, I think I might just be getting the podracers if anything. We'll see though, it depends once I see them in person. If nothing else is taking my money, I might be more inclined to pick up the new figures like Gragra or the Gungan.

Depending on how this is shipped though, this really looks like pegwarm city to me. Looking at all the Geonosians, etc. on the pegs makes me think the same thing will happen to the Gungan, and maybe to the rest of this wave. Aside from the recent ROTS push, the prequels just don't seem to sell quite as well overall. Maybe I'm wrong, but this wave just doesn't look like its going to jump off the pegs to many people. Hopefully it will sell better than I think though.

Wow, those are NOT good. What a kitbash nightmare of a wave. That Naboo tech looks to have Fire Speeder Pilot legs and something mutant from GI Joe for arms. The last thing we needed was another bad TPM Obi-Wan with a shoddy likeness and outdated articulation, all wrapped up in a figure sure to kill the chances of a quality resculpt any time soon. Holographic figures are becoming a bigger joke than silver painted exclusives.

The new sculpts are ok, but nothing amazing, with the possible exception of Gragra.

Holo Maul: I'll give it a transparent lookObi Won : Rep Been: Alright, looks good..although the case quantity dicates it will pegwarmYams pilot: pretty geeky . The helmet looks oK if not for the sweet potato colorPod Racers: Intrigued..what's with the bag-head?Graga: My Fav! ..wondering about what Gregg said about his mouth....It does look like it's lower jaw moves! You Wanna Wupi?Looks like a hinge there on the right side of it's face!
